Hope the Southern Living Party was SUPA fun!
Can I just tell you that God's Word has been more powerful to me this last week than ever. He is getting a hold of my heart and sin in so many ways. I'm so thankful and grateful for this AWESOME GOD I serve and love.
S - Colossians 1:12–14 Colossians 1:15–22 Colossians 2:9–15 Colossians 3:1–11
WOW never thought about gratitude like I should and now I have a better biblical view!
O - Gratitude should flow from this: I am "qualified to share in His inheritance", I am rescued from darkness and transferred to His kingdom, I have redemption from sins, He created all things through HIm and for Him, He is the head of the body, I'm made complete in HIm, "circumcised without hands" so I'm not under the Law!, I was dead in my sins but now made alive in Him and my debt is canceled!, He has triumphed over evil, "Christ is all and in all"
A - Now what do I have to complain about and be ungrateful about when I have a correct view of myself and God! I deserve death and punishment and to live under the Law, but I don't have to because Christ REDEEMED me from ALL of it....I.AM.GRATEFUL!
P - God forgive me of my complaining and whining and ungrateful heart. You have blessed me more than I deserve. Thank you for being a loving Creator. God I am so sorry and shameful and repentant for my ungrateful heart!
Karlyn I am so excited for you and all that the Lord is showing you through His Word!
